Katie Holmes Talks Tom Cruise: "I Don't Want That Moment in My Life to Define Me, to Be Who I Am"

More than two years after her divorce from Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes talks ending the five-year marriage and beginning a new life. "I don't want that moment in my life to define me, to be who I am," the Giver actress, 35, says of no longer being one half of TomKat. "I don't want that to be what I'm known as. I was an actor before, an actor during and an actor now."

Now, she says in People's Nov. 10 issue, "I don't have any fear now, I don't have a lot of rules for myself, and I don't take myself that seriously.

Regarding her career, she says, "I feel ready for new challenges."

Cruise, meanwhile, has never publicly discussed his divorce from Holmes.
